I don't believe it does. Not an easy camera to use. Seems I am always fussing with the metering. If I have plenty of time and opportunities to retake a photo, I can get nice photos with this camera. Very unpredictable. Finally replaced the camera with a Nikon D7000. Beautiful piece of equipment! Worth the money over and over. I do not suggest you spend your money on the Pentax. Just not an easy camera. Way to frustrating for me. However, if you still decide to go with it, the camera likes the enelope rechargeable batteries. If you don't invest in the rechargeable batteries, you are going to go broke buying batteries. Good luck! Hope my feed back helped a little. I don't believe it does. Not an easy camera to use.

No.Although I wouldn't recommend purchasing this camera. The customer support from Ricoh really stinks.

There is no external audio input. I just use a separate audio recording system and sync it back into the video during post production. Unfortunate, but at this price? It's worth it.

From my research, it does not have an external microphone jack. Some reviews I've found: http://www.t3.com/reviews/cameras/camcorders/panasonic-hm-ta1-review

Hi Leigh, yes, the camera has audio when playing back videos in it. -Vincent

Yes it does. I have not used it though. The input jack is located on the upper left side. It say's 'MIC' (plug in power).

No. However from the audio input panel of your computer sound card, you can choose the audio from a different source than the built in mic on the camera.

Yes there is a built in mic it cannot record without one. However; I think you can even plug in an external mic also.

The built in stereo mic that's molded into the body, yes. That external mic you see, no. That's extra.

It's hard to find out, isn't it? I believe we are talking about the same camera. It appears the external microphone jack is an accessory that somehow fits into the shoe on the top of the camera.

Yes to both questiosns. It has an external MIC port and a AV Out port (for headphones).

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike.http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

Thank you for contacting us. The item you are inquiring about does not come with a port to plug in an external microphone.

No,but has a tv jack,hdmi port, and a usb port. It has a built in mic. This a very good video camera and worth the price.

Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

It does not. There is a different connector for an external mic on the Nex 7.

It has an external mic jack but no headphone jack. It has an AV jack that a headphone jack would work with an adapter.
